Logically I would have thought for a replacement that you would simply swap it with the replacement and the courier company would then return it to Amazon, below is part of the email that I received from Amazon:



The bit that baffles me is "If return is required" I don't know!
Anyway for what it's worth

Yes, unless you want to pay for two Kindles, you do need to return the defective Kindle, but not until you get the replacement Kindle. As previously stated (several times ) in this thread, when you receive your replacement Kindle, return your defective Kindle in the box that the replacement Kindle came in

They will even reimburse you for the shipping cost - and for the insurance too, I should imagine, as that is part of the shipping cost - as stated in the email they sent you. Pretty good deal, especially since you'll be paying for shipping from South Africa.
